Attending: St. Anselm College
Accepted: St. Anselm College (20.3k in scholarship/merit aid*), Marlboro College (10k in merit aid), Stonehill College (5k in merit aid), Southern New Hampshire University (5k in merit aid), Hampshire College

Waitlist: None

My Senior Year END stats (note, pretty much any academic stat was LOWER for me when I applied)

GPA: 3.54 weighted on approximately a 4.4-4.5 scale for me
Rank: 28/123
SAT: 750v, 710m, 610w (best scores, one new and one old attempt)
SAT II: Not Applicable
APs: Psychology (4) (Did not come into play)

Personal/School Qualities:

Race: White
Gender: Male
School: Trinity High School (NH) (Small private, Catholic school with a solid local reputation).
Location: Manchester, NH
Prospective Major: Undecided

Extras:
Yearbook (11th grade), Destination Imagination, Campus Ministry, Yearbook (12th grade, but not really that involved in any for one reason or another). They were poor.

Essays:
-Standard common application personal statement (Specifically, I showed my mother's infleuence upon my current character in the major statement, while in the lesser one, I explained my dedication to a baseball message forum)
-Various other ones for Marlboro and Hampshire.

Notes:
* = The school has a "feeder" relationship with my HS, meaning that some of the merit (5.8k definitely, maybe more) was either school or region specific (5k from a Catholic HS Grant (qualified for it), 800 dollars from a scholarship dedicated to the school)

My grades and performance in general showed a severe upward trend, from a B-/B student to an A-/A student.
